Backup plan:
1- In case of offline situation:

We will have a poster with the web and the peanut butter and jelly activity on it that the students can write on in case the internet or computers don't work.
We will also have a couple other blank posters for more room or other notes.
So if it happens that the computers don't work we can still have our lesson plan as planned
2- In case we run of time:
We can have the students do their writing and drawing activity at home and move on to the conclusion
3- If we end earlier:
If we end early the students will be asked to finish the work on their own
4- In case the camera did not work:

We will all bring our iphones with us to use in case the cameras don’t work because we can film on those
5- In case of having many computers on the right side that did not login:

We won’t need the computers on the sides of the room so this will not be a problem for us.
